As of this morning it's this Verbatim 16GB flash drive. One of few flash drives I had took a dump in an incorrectly wired USB slot a month or so back so I'm finally getting around to replacing it.

Before that, it was a Samsung Syncmaster 17" that I bought refurbed for cheap when my 2003 Dell CRT took a dump back about 8 or so months ago.

Thanks for being a part of us, even if it wasn't always on the best of terms.

For me, it was still this laptop, if I'm not mistaken. I've been rather stingy lately. Well, unless you count a USB drive I gave to someone as an Xmas present.

I haven't made any tech purchases for myself since buying our new laptops:

Gateway w/ Intel Core i5
Laptop cooler
Wireless mouse
Trendnet Wireless N Router

Everything except for the router was 2x, one for me and one for the misses. We sold our desktops and use our tax rebate to fund this purchase.

Oh snap...laptop mentioned I forgot that I bought an ASUS Eee netbook (went dutch) for my father for his birthday back in February. Formatted it and reloaded it with Windows 7 Ultimate. Not a bad little thing for 300 bucks.

Paulguy's Post configuration
A couple of these hard drives to replace the imminently failing drive, they're currently in a software RAID 1 array in linux using mdadm and raid1.ko.

I'm also waiting on a black classic controller pro and mayflash classic controller -> USB adapter.

An old Dell Optiplex GX240 for $30 from my college (1.7ghz P4, 512MB PC133 SDRAM, 20GB HD, 16MB ATI Rage 128 Pro) and a Dreamcast for the same price.

I'm damn glad DC games are easy to burn. I don't see them sold ANYWHERE anymore.

Sonic All-star Racing counts, I guess, though besides that, I've been investing in memory for myself and my clients. DDR RAM, 1 GB modules.

I feel kinda sad now reading that because I'd rather have either of those two then having to shell out a 40 for a 16 gig flash drive. Unfortunately, it is a work/want hybrid item...so.

If I went the work route, they'd get the cheapest they'd afford for me...meaning a gig or two drive. Screw that.

...16GB drives have come that low? Shit.

I wouldn't grab one just yet, though. I'd wait for them to drop a bit more, first, and then I'd wait until my 4GB drive stopped being enough.

I've had 8GB drives but they both died.

41.99 for the one I got...but I'm paying a premium for speed. You can get them around 30 or so, I believe. It was either going to be the Verbatim I showed or a Mushkin for 38.99. Selling point was retractable versus cap. I caved against retractable.

A Windows 3.1 machine and a TI-99/4a... so far, the 3.1 machine is working just fine, but I still haven't tried the TI-99/4a (doubt it works, though... it was used by a local cable company in the 1980s as a character generator... =/)

Although those were more technically given to me... as for purchases, I'd have to say it was the Performa 575 + 500 MB external SCSI drive for $25... =P

I believe it's the monitor for my computer, but I got that all the way back in June.

My newest tech purchase is a DVI -> HDMI cable for my monitor, my video card doesn't have an HDMI port. Things are purty now!
